From that period, several archaeological remains were found that prove the previous statements: coins, pieces of pottery, bricks, manual millstones and carved stones are some of the examples that we can point out.

In terms of architectural heritage, the Mother Church, with baroque features, built in the 18th century, highlights its interior altars in gilded woodcarving and the altarpiece of the tabernacle.

According to Maria Ascensão Rodrigues, author of "Ferro, Cova da Beira", "Ferro has, as its main elevation, a small mountain range, on the slope of which is located, and from which one enjoys, either by day or by night a breathtaking panorama, with the sumptuous Serra da Estrela as a background in which are embedded, as jewels that adorn it, the typical and picturesque city of Covilhã.

(...) Still nestles at his feet Boidobra, with its uber-gorgeous and wonderful valley, separated from the fertile lands of Ferro by the river Zêzere".

Of markedly rural characteristics, its population is dedicated primarily to agricultural activity, however, since the second half of the 20th century, there has been an increase in the number of people working in industry, and some trade and services have also emerged.
